4 Claims. (01. 259-144) The invention relates to culinary implements bring the handle member in towards the center of the kind used for beating, mixing or stirring of the bowl, when in use. various ingredients, such as, eggs, cream, batter The plurality of paddles greatly facilitates the and the likes. It has for its main purpose to operation of the implement. The right and left provide an implement with which any of these curvature of the paddles further facilitate the 5 operations may be performed withaminimum eX- operation, in that it causes added agitation at penditure of time and labor. both the front and back strokes of the beater. Another object is to so construct the implement The shape of the paddles, as at 20, makes it posthat it will effectively reach all parts of the vessible to remove all unmixed material from the sel or bowl in which the mixing, stirring or beatsides of the bowl. When the ends of the paddle 10 ing is being performed, so as to thoroughly disare used as in Fig; 3, every part of the inner integrate and mix the materials therein, and parbottom of the bowl will be reached by the paddles. ticularly so as to prevent unmixed portions from and thus, here again, accumulation of unmixed adhering to the vessel or bowl. A further object material will be prevented. In mixing small is to provide an implement of strong and san quantities of material, the beater works particu- 15 itary construction, which has no parts readily 'larly efiectively when used in the position shown broken or bent, and which can be manufactured in Fig. 3. at a low cost. Having described my invention and its objects,

These and various other objects and advantages what I claim is new and wish to protect by Letwill be readily understood from the following deters Patent is: 20

This shank is flared at its wardly in one direction, and all the paddles on lower end 12 and this end supports a plurality the other side of the axis curved sidewardly in of wire paddles l3, 14, 15, 16, 1'7, 18 and 19. the opposite direction.

Each paddle is formed from a single piece of 2. In an implement of the class described, a 35 wire which is first curved, as at 20, to conform to plurality of paddles each formed of a single looped the shape of the bowl 21 in which the mixing is wire, the end of each loop being straight, one taking p It is then p d, as at and side of each loop curved outwardly and bent to fi y Curved back, as at 110 r-lap the 7 form an acute angle with the straight end of other end of the wire. Both ends of each wire the loop, the second side. of each loop curved 40 loop is held securely in the shank. The paddles in the same direction as the first side; the exare made of very stiff wire, such as piano wire, treme ends of the wires of each loop in parallel o p contact with each other, a handle member to The paddles are arranged in a fan shape and which said paddles are secured and from the end all the paddles on one side of the center paddle of which they project in spaced relation, all of 45 16 are curved to the left, while all the paddles on thepaddles on one side of the center axis of the the other side of the center paddle are curved implementcurved sidewardly in one direction, to the right. 'This is plainly shown in Figs. 2 and all the paddles on the other side of the axis and 3. V curved sidewardly in the opposite direction.

The paddles are also of varying lengths; the 3. In an implement of the class described, a 50 center paddle being the longest. This causes plurality of paddles each formed of asingle looped the ends of the paddles when placed in the botwire, the end of each loop being straight, one side tom of the bowl 21, as shown in Fig. 3, to subof each loop curved outwardly and bent to form stantially conform to the shape of the bowl. The an acute angle with the straight end of the loop,

4. In an implement of the class described, a plurality of paddles each formed of a single looped wire, the end of each loop being straight, one side of each loop curved outwardly and bent to form an acute angle with the straight end. of the loop,
